Ooh how long are you on the client for? Is it an audit client ?

This sounds good. I definitely told my client that I have a strict rule against dating clients bc it can get messy quick lol

I met him back in August. It was like love at first sight when I first met him. He was one of my business stakeholders and I flew to his office to present some workshops to him. We started dating immediately. I left his company in April since my project ended and started at a new client 2 weeks later. I feel like he immediately changed when I left so I ended things with him this week.

Thank you M1!!!

How do you keep all of your notes-to-self organized?
